- Preston, England, United Kingdom
Über
npd , we believe in design that does good. We’re not about next season’s gimmicks - we solve
real-world problems
through thoughtful, technically rigorous product development. We’ve built a reputation as a
UK product design agency
that takes on the “impossible”: deeply technical challenges across consumer, industrial, healthcare, and sustainability sectors.
Based in
Preston , with spaces in Manchester and London, we live by the philosophy that
great design deserves more than a good sketch . We make things, test them, iterate, and bring them to market - and when something is worth it, we invest ourselves.
We only work on projects we truly believe in. If a product doesn’t deserve to exist, we’re not afraid to say no.
What You'll Do
Lead
major, cross‑functional product programmes , owning everything from concept to manufacturing and launch.
Act as a
deputy
to the Head of Design - shaping technical strategy, mentoring engineers/designers, and raising the bar on design excellence.
Apply
specialist skills
(FEA, systems engineering, complex mechanical design, sustainability, or other deep technical expertise) to drive innovation.
Champion the
full product lifecycle : CAD, prototyping, DfM, testing, supplier engagement.
Deliver to clients with confidence: present, workshop, and consult on design decisions grounded in real engineering.
Help foster our collaborative, outcomes‑driven culture, mentoring mid‑ and senior‑level talent across the studio.
What We're Looking For
8+ years
in product design or mechanical engineering (or equivalent)
Proven experience
shipping real products , not just concepts
Strong CAD skills + deep understanding of design for manufacture
Experience leading complex technical programmes
Strategic thinker with excellent communication skills
Hands‑on with prototyping, testing, and supplier‑facing engineering
A portfolio that demonstrates both creativity and technical discipline
Bonus if you have
FEA / simulation experience
Systems engineering or embedded / electronics integration
Leading client workshops or cross‑domain teams
What You'll Get
£48k–£55k , depending on experience and leadership level
Hybrid working: based in
Preston
with 1 flexible work‑from‑home day, depending on Project phase
Real ownership of projects
Variety: consumer, industrial, sustainable, and high‑impact projects
Training / development budget to grow your specialism
Collaborative, “hands‑dirty” culture - we prototype, test, iterate, get things built
A sense of purpose: we choose work that deserves to exist and creates positive impact
Why Join npd?
You're not just designing for handoff - you’ll shape real products that go to market.
You’ll work with an ambitious, mission‑driven team rooted in
Lancashire , proud of our
local impact
and global reach.
You’ll lead from the front - not just in design, but in engineering, sustainability, and strategy.
